Lavender eye pillow day

I finished my 20 lavender eye pillows and 40 pillowcases today!


My first task was to turn all the pillowcases right side out and press them.


Next, I filled the pillows with flax seed and lavender and stitched the pillows closed.


I guess I should have checked to see if the pillowcases fit before I got this far. Luckily, I measured correctly!


They're now ready for delivery!


Mom took a photo of the baby blanket she finished for her friend Marie's new great-grandson. Isn't it a lovely pattern?


Mom finished two placemats today. She used some fabric strips that I had purchased at Hobby Lobby on clearance several years ago. I love the blue/green combination!

This afternoon, Mom and I sorted through two big baskets of fabric, thinking we would get rid of quite a bit of it... wrong! We kept almost all of it, because we started talking about what we could make. De-stashing can be very difficult!

    1. Haha! Mom and I keep looking at all we make and then at our stash... no one would be able to tell that we've used any of it, and you wouldn't believe how much I've given away!

  6. My head is spinning again! You and your Mom truly are making great use of your time and talents! All this productivity is amazing! And going back to school in this situation is mind-boggling! Of course, I'm sure they are so grateful to have you - the administration and especially the students! I think it takes a great deal of courage and I certainly hope it works out for everyone. We need some success stories!
